Hunter Dobbins, Nate Dohm, Cayden Gothrup, Jacob Hartlaub, Zac Jones and Grant Miller will all join the Cardinals in the fall of 2021.Dobbins, from Indianapolis, was all-conference and all-county as a sophomore at Mt. Vernon in 2019 when he batted .380 and was voted Mt. Vernon Hitter of the Year. He also helped his team to a sectional title in 2018. In the summer, his 17u Indiana Nitro club was among the state's best.
"Hunter is a physical catcher/third baseman with power potential, strong arm and high ceiling," Maloney said.
Dohm is a big right-hander from Zionsville, Indiana. As a sophomore in 2019, he pitched 19.2 innings and struck out 23. Dohm played three summers for the Indiana Bulls club. He was picked for the WWBA National Championship All-Tournament Team and posted a 1.50 ERA and 63 strikeouts over 37.1 innings. He was selected to play for Team Indiana, a traveling squad that competes against the nation's best. He was also selected all-tournament at the PBR Indiana State Games. Off the field, he boasts a 3.7 GPA and has volunteered many hours at local organizations.
"Nate has a power arm with the makings of good break stuff," Maloney said.
Gothrup, a lefty from nearby Daleville, Indiana, owns a 3.25 ERA with 99 strikeouts in high school. He also pitched a no-hitter and three complete games. He led his team to a 22-9 record and a state title as a freshman in 2018 and a sectional title in 2019. In the summer of 2020, he played for Indiana Bulls White. He also plays basketball and competed in cross country.
"Cayden has a good arm, blue-collar work ethic and loves to compete," Maloney said.
Hartlaub, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, was his conference's player of the year as a sophomore in 2019. Hartlaub's summer ball accomplishments include being named to the 2020 Perfect Game All-American Regional Team and various Perfect Game all-tournament teams in 2017, 2018 and 2019. He also played football for Martin Luther, where he was all-conference and his team's defensive MVP.
"Jacob is a multi-sport athlete with a good fastball and good upside," Maloney said.
Miller, an infielder from West Chester, Ohio, was a varsity starter in Ohio's toughest region as a sophomore and was named his team's top defensive player. In summer ball, he stole 50 bases and was an all-tournament team pick at the Youth Baseball National Tournament in Mississippi. He also played in the All-American Games in 2017. He also played soccer as a freshman.
"Grant is a gritty, dirtbag table-setter and plays with a chip on his shoulder," Maloney said.
Jones plays the left side of the infield for Stoney Creek High School in Oakland Township, Michigan. A 3.85 GPA student, Jones was voted his team's best defensive player. Jones played the last five summer ball seasons for Legends Baseball Club.
"Zac is an athletic middle infielder and a good runner with a strong arm and good instincts," Maloney said.

Ball State has placed a first- or second-round draft pick in the MLB Draft in each of the past two seasons.
